Dumbbell Close-Grip Curl

Expert Advice

Avoid swinging the weights and use a full range of motion to fully engage the biceps and forearms.

Stand upright with a dumbbell in each hand, palms facing forward, and hands close together.
Keep your elbows close to your torso as you curl the weights towards your shoulders.
Squeeze your biceps at the top of the movement.
Slowly lower the dumbbells back to the starting position.
Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
